Fortnum & Mason Private Dining, The Drawing Room

Grocer to the Queen and most of her predecessors since 1707, this venerable institution has five private dining spaces. On the fourth floor, the Drawing Room is a light, airy space for up to 80, while the Tasting Room lends itself to lunches, dinners and afternoon teas. At lower-ground level, medieval stoneware and decorative panelling create an intimate atmosphere in the Crypt, which suits wine tastings and dinners. The Boardroom – the venue of choice for Fortnum’s own directors for more than a century – is a secluded space for meetings. The Gallery restaurant seats 100 and can be hired exclusively for private events.

Elegant and enticing as a plate of petits fours, The Drawing Room is just made for entertaining. Flooded in natural light and decorated with hand-painted silk wallpaper and bespoke, refined furnishings - it’s a sophisticated venue for breakfasts, lunches, afternoon tea, dinners, drinks receptions and weddings!

With a full suite of the latest audio/visual equipment, it’s the most prestigious setting for meetings and conferences that one could ask for.
